I will miss your wit, your face your voice; that mind and you - as irreplaceable as you were irrepressible. Sigue Compañero, and you know, you were. ~ LDC

Poet, Xicano litcrit, Professor Alfred Arteaga
You can search this blog for more posts and information about Alfred Arteaga who passed last friday, July 4th, of an heart attack. Here is the information on services and a memorial to be held, possibly this saturday:
"Here is the preliminary information for my father's service:
Saint Anthony's Cemetery
Stage Road (near North Street)
Pescadero, CA 94060
We are thinking it is going to be on Saturday but we haven't confirmed it. We will have the funeral and the memorial service somewhere else in the area, probably in Santa Cruz. ~ Marisol Arteaga"
Here are some links to my blog. Alfred's website is www.alfredarteaga.com.
I'll post more later. This is very hard for me.

he was such a caring teacher and a passionate advocate for all of us
I'm sorry to read this.
Never met him, but I read him.
Respect.
Dear Ms. Cervantes,
I reached for Emplumada when Soza called with the news. It was Arteaga who introduced many of us to your work in that first writing class at the ES Graduate Group. He explained the circumstances of your smile in the author photo. Thank you. I am so sorry. I do not know how to accept this loss.

I still miss you, Alfred.
